Yes, it has an alternator. However, it's much more likely the battery is bad and it is drawing the alternator down, and not the other way around. Have the battery load tested; I suspect it will test bad. You cannot let them sit for a year and expect them to survive, especially if you have cold winters. A lead acid battery will self discharge and a discharged battery will freeze. Freezing destroys the battery.
